Scientific Software Introduces Enterprise Content Manager

 Scientific Software, Inc., a world leader in the development, sale and support of Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solutions, announced today a new, cost-effective solution for enterprise content management (ECM). Scientific Software Enterprise Content Manager (formerly known as CyberLAB ECMS) is an ECM software platform that provides a secure, central repository and rich content services to create, capture, manage, archive, and re-use business critical information.

What sets Scientific Software Enterprise Content Manager apart from other ECM alternatives is:

·         An overall lower total cost of ownership in terms of software license fees, training, consulting and ongoing system maintenance. Pricing for Enterprise Content Manager starts at $5,500 for a single-server, 5-user system.

·         A blue chip customer base with many installations at leading pharmaceutical, petrochemical, food and beverage, academic, environmental and government companies.

·         Management of both human-readable and raw data from analytical instruments and measurement devices (e.g. medical imaging/DICOM devices, chromatography systems, NMR, mass spectroscopy) as well as any document type such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook emails and images.

·         PDF Metadata Extraction via the use of special PDF Templates that extract full text, fields, data from charts, graphs, or tables

·         Unparalleled support for the Adobe PDF file format, including electronic signatures, automated PDF rendering, electronic forms support, scalable vector graphics extraction, PDF metadata extraction, and desktop integration.

·         Technology-neutral Format (TNF) file conversion based on the AnIML (XML) schema and the ASTM E13.15 standard for long-term archival of analytical data.

·         Secure Access for Everyone (SAFE) authentication based on PKI trust infrastructure for legally enforceable and regulatory compliant electronic signatures.

·         Active archival” to permanent media (SAN, IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, EMC Centera, NTFS) and content storage virtualization.

·         Automated records collection via scheduled import, print to PDF, and BPM.

·         Strong compliance capabilities (21 CFR Part 11, Sarbanes-Oxley, SEC, OSHA) that are extended to better manage Microsoft Excel spreadsheet templates.

·         Integrated records retention policies, eliminating the need for a separate database, application, or tool for archivists and records managers.

·         Unified, n-tier architecture based on a single, web-based user interface and a single repository (with support for centralized database management and federations of file systems).

·         Integrated Business Process Management (BPM) functionality for workflow automation.

With this rich functionality, Enterprise Content Manager platform capabilities span technology solutions for document management, records management, knowledge management, dynamic report building, records archival, PDF file management, automated records collection, electronic forms processing, and scanning and imaging.

In its 3rd major release after being introduced to the market in 2001, Scientific Software Enterprise Content Manager has won numerous industry awards, including the Scientific Computing & Instrumentation 2002, 2003 & 2004 Readers’ Choice Awards, and has helped organizations across a number of industries improve regulatory compliance, reduce operational costs, boost productivity levels, and increase customer satisfaction.

St. Jude Medical, a world leader in the design, manufacture, and distribution of innovative medical devices, recently deployed Scientific Software Enterprise Content Manager to help get control of its unstructured information. “Operating across four different manufacturing facilities around the globe presents significant challenges when it comes to finding and retrieving the latest, secure and trusted information on our products,” said Stephanie Board, Senior Scientist at St. Jude Medical. “We needed an easy-to-use solution to help us distribute and re-use information more efficiently while simplifying the process. Scientific Software Enterprise Content Manager met all of our technical requirements and has improved compliance with regulatory mandates.”
